Problem Clinic

Description

Few people, faced with the complicated machinery of the law, know how to proceed without legal counsel or defense. Yet many are unable to pay for the services of a lawyer. The Law Societies of many of the provinces, encouraged by the Canadian Bar Association, extend help in the form of free legal-aid clinics staffed by volunteer lawyers. Enacted here is a case in which a young man facing a criminal charge is defended by a legal-aid lawyer.
